Further, the hirer will not use or permit the vehicles to be used for hire, driving tuition, towing, racing or pace-making, or for competing in any rally, or any other form of motor sport, track days, or for any illegal purpose whatsoever.

You will be provided with a full tank of petrol and the vehicle must be returned with a full tank. If, however, this is not the case any reimbursement for petrol will be charged at the pump price, plus £60 administration charge.

Overseas Travel

Please note our cars can't be taken out of the UK. Prior notification is required so that overseas insurance and RAC Cover can be arranged.
